beatmania IIDX 3rd Style is a music video game developed by Bemani and published by Konami, initially released as an arcade game in Japan on February 25, 2000,[1] and subsequently ported to the PlayStation 2 on November 2.[2] 3rd Style removed the 4-keys mode from previous installments and replaced it with the Light7 difficulty, giving most songs a fully separate, easier notechart.[1] The game also introduced Free Mode and Extra Stage,[3] and featured a new aesthetic.[2]

Gameplay

Beatmania IIDX tasks the player with performing songs through a controller consisting of seven key buttons and a scratchable turntable.[4] Hitting the notes with strong timing increases the score and groove gauge bar, allowing the player to finish the stage. Failing to do so depletes the gauge until it is empty, abruptly ending the song.[5] 3rd Style removed the 4-keys mode from previous installments and replaced it with the Light7 difficulty, giving most songs a fully separate, easier notechart.[1] The game also introduced Free Mode and Extra Stage,[3] and featured a new aesthetic.[2]

Home version

3rd Style was the first Beatmania game to receive a PlayStation 2 port.[2] This version includes various songs from the first three styles, though some remain arcade-exclusive.[6]
